We also welcome affiliates, both as individuals and companies or organizations, who support SVR but are not directly engaged in the production of robots or robotic research and development.

Our strategy aims; to facilitate networking, fact finding and research between industry executives, potential partners, investors, and customers; to engage in activities that enhance the quality and quantity of the next generation of robotics professionals; to advocate in favor of robotics policies that promote innovation and entrepreneurship; to recognize industry-leading companies and attract thought leaders.
